Methods are described for improvement of the serum half life of therapeutic nucleic acids by 3′ conjugation to useful target proteins, or other large molecules with useful function. In one embodiment, a 3′ A, C or G overhang is added to ds-DNA and the primary amines conjugated using biocompatible bifunctional linkers to proteins. The resulting nucleic acid-3′ conjugates are serum nuclease-resistant and retained in vivo for long periods without rapid kidney clearance. Further, the choice of conjugate imparts additional functionality to the nucleic acid-3′ conjugate.

The present invention relates to the field of nucleic acid-based therapeutics where nucleic acid stability and retention are improved by a 3′ conjugation to a therapeutic protein. More specifically, the present invention relates to methods for production of aptamers, antisense and other nucleic acid based therapeutics that are blocked at their 3′ ends. The 3′ blocked nucleic acids have surprisingly increased stability, increased retention in the body, and with the judicious selection of conjugate can have additional therapeutic benefit as well.
This invention was made with U.S. Government support under various SBIR contracts. The Government has certain rights in the invention.
Aptamers, derived from the Latin aptus, meaning, ‘to fit’, are oligonucleotides that have a specific three dimensional shape and consequent biological activity. Aptamers are generally produced through a process named “systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment” or “SELEX,” which is an iterative selection and amplification process. Nucleic acids that bind to a target are selected (non-binders are simply washed away) and then subjected to a round of amplification. As this process is reiterated, tightly binding aptamers are enriched in the population, and extremely tight and specific binding between the aptamer and the target can be achieved. The reader is referred to U.S. Pat. No. 5,270,163 and the very large family of related patents for detailed SELEX protocols.
The extraordinary capacity of aptamers to bind tightly to specific targets underlines their tremendous potential as molecular therapeutics. For example, aptamers can be used to selectively target cells (such as tumor cells or pathogens) for death.
For example, U.S. Pat. No. 6,566,343 discusses the potential for aptamers directed at cell surface components of bacteria, cancer cells and parasites to activate the complement system and bring about the lysis of target cells. The patent discloses the linkage of two aptamers—one directed against the target cell and a second one against a component of the complement system (thus recruiting the complement cascade to the target cell)—to achieve complement activation and targeted cell death.
There are two distinct disadvantages to this approach. First, the aptamer-aptamer conjugates are subject to degradation from serum nucleases and second, the aptamer-aptamer conjugates are subject to rapid clearance by the kidneys. Thus, although aptamers are a powerful targeting system, in vivo nucleic acid stability remains a problem.
A Canadian team of researchers (Dougan et al., 2000) demonstrated that 3′-biotinylation of DNA significantly increased its resistance to serum nuclease activity. This was presumably due to steric hindrance and suggests that any 3′ or 5′ capping or nucleic acid modification should improve nucleic acid stability in vivo.
However, our research surprisingly indicates that 5′-biotinylation is not very effective against serum degradation of DNA, nor is the incorporation of 2′-Fluoro-modified deoxynucleotide triphosphates (2′F-dNTPs). Thus, the stability issue is not as simply addressed as one might predict. Hence, improved methods of stabilizing nucleic acids for in vivo therapeutic use are still needed and the invention addresses this problem.
While many researchers have utilized addition of primary aliphatic amines and other functional groups to the 3′ ends of solid-phase synthetic DNA, Vaijayanthi et al. (Indian Journal of Biochem. And Biophysics. Vol. 40, p. 382, 2003) teach that “3′-terminal modifications are somewhat difficult to achieve, as these days, most of the syntheses are being carried out on solid supports and the 3′-hydroxyl function is inaccessible for the desired modification to be incorporated. Moreover, the 3′-hydroxyl group is not sufficiently nucleophilic for introducing modifications during post-synthesis work-up.” The presently revealed invention identifies a facile means for direct attachment to the 3′ ends of double-stranded PCR products, thereby eliminating the difficulty in attaching to the 3′ ends of DNA oligonucleotides produced by solid-phase synthesis.
In addition to the difficulties with attachment of functional groups to the 3′ ends of solid-phase synthetic single-stranded DNA oligonucleotides, the oligonucleotides are limited in length to approximately 100 bases. This problem stems from the maximal 99% coupling efficiency which causes yields to be quite low for longer oligonucleotides. Yields can be theoretically estimated as (0.99)n where n is the length of the oligonucleotide in bases. Hence, an oligonucleotide of 100 bases in length would yield (0.99)100 or 0.366 (about 37% yield). This is a severely limiting factor for the mass production of lengthy anti-sense and artificial gene DNA conjugates. Again, the natural solution to such a problem lies in PCR which because of its enzymatic nature (using Taq DNA polymerase) is capable of synthesizing DNA amplicons that are hundreds to thousands of bases in length.
A further problem with solid-phase DNA synthesis that makes it impractical at present for large-scale industrial or pharmaceutical use is cost. A gram of solid-phase synthesized DNA can cost several thousand dollars. To deal with the problem, Vaijayanthi et al., 2003 and Pons et al. 2001 teach the strategies of reusable DNA synthesis columns and multiple synthesis columns in parallel to enhance overall productivity.
A revolutionary approach to the issue of large-scale DNA synthesis cost has been recognized by Vandalia Research Corp. which published in Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology News (Dutton, 2009) that it uses scaled-up PCR (via its Triathlon system) for the cost-effective mass production of 1 gram or more of DNA per machine per day. It is the primary intention of the present invention to provide a facile and cost-effective means to directly couple peptides, proteins and other useful molecules to the 3′ adenine overhanging ends of PCR products made by Vandalia Research or other industrial entities to lower the cost of large-scale short and lengthy DNA-3′-conjugates for the future pharmaceutical industry.
The invention presents a novel means to conjugate nucleic acid at its 3′ end to protein moieties or other large macromolecules (e.g., polyethylene glycols, nanotubes, and the like). The 3′ conjugation inhibits the action of serum nucleases that would otherwise rapidly breakdown the DNA in blood, and it dramatically increases retention of the aptamers in blood, which would otherwise be rapidly filtered out by the kidneys.
Various embodiments of the invention allow for the production of aptamers, antisense and other nucleic acid-based therapeutics that are blocked at their 3′ ends with therapeutic proteins and therapeutic uses for the nucleic acid-3′-conjugates. Generally speaking, double-stranded (ds)-DNA is conjugated at its 3′ end, followed by conversion to single-stranded (ss)-DNA-3′-conjugates. The 3′ conjugates show remarkable serum nuclease resistance and retention in the body and exhibit enhanced therapeutic efficacy as compared with the same DNA in a naked (unconjugated) form.
Various embodiments of the conjugation require the addition of adenine (A), cytosine (C), or guanine (G) to the 3′ end of ds-DNA by means of various enzymes (thymine has no free primary amine group). In particular, Thermus aquaticus (Taq) DNA polymerase adds a 3′-A overhang during the PCR process and the template-independent enzyme terminal deoxynucleotide transferase (TdT) can add A, C, or G to the 3′ end of blunt-ended ds-DNA, if only A, C, and G are supplied (i.e., no thymine is provided). In various embodiments, with TdT, the undesired complementary strand will become conjugated to the protein as well, but it will be nonfunctional and nonallergenic, because DNA is of low immunogenicity.
Free primary amines in the terminal A, C, or G's can then be used to link the DNA to a protein (or other conjugate) via a bifunctional linker with an N-hydroxy-succinimide or other suitable functionality. The conjugate is specifically added to the 3′ overhang because the remainder of the DNA molecule is double-stranded and cannot participate in conjugation.
After conjugation, the ds-DNA is converted to ss-DNA by means of heating beyond the DNA's melting temperature (Tm) for a brief period (several minutes). Care should be taken to avoid protein denaturation during the melting step. Melting is followed by purification of the ss-DNA-3′-conjugate by chromatographic or other physical and chemical means including affinity separation methods, differential or density centrifugation, and preparative electrophoresis.
Such aptamer-3′-conjugates have a variety of applications. A key application is the targeted killing of pathogens or tumor cells. For example, if the protein moiety is human or animal C1qrs (or some portion of the complex) it will activate the complement cascade as shown herein, thus targeting the cell for destruction by the immune system. The C1qrs is delivered to the target cell by virtue of being coupled to an aptamer specific for that cell.
Alternatively, one can couple aptamers to carbon nanotubes or other types of nanotubes to bind the surface of an undesirable target cell and kill it by puncturing the cell membrane or cell wall with the attached nanotube. To be effective at killing, aptamer-3′-nanotube conjugates would require energy input via a molecular motor driven by adenosine triphosphate (ATP), creatine phosphate, or other innovative means of energetically driving the nanotube into the target cell membrane to puncture and lyse the target cell.
Another key application of aptamer-3′-conjugates is the neutralization of toxins (e.g., botulinum toxins, cholera and diphtheria toxins, digitalis, ricin, staphylococcal enterotoxins, etc.) by use of specifically developed ss-aptamers linked to serum albumin (SA) to prevent aptamer breakdown and clearance from the blood. The aptamer-3′-SA binds tightly to the toxin, thus neutralizing its effect.
Coupling of aptamers to the complement system could be advantageous in the killing of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, cancer cells, parasites and other target cells. Carbon nanotubes, toxins, and destructive enzymes might also be coupled to the 3′-end of aptamers to create highly effective and long-lived therapeutics against invading cells or target cells.
A greater understanding of the present invention may be had from reference to the following detailed description and the appended claims.
In order that the manner in which the above recited and other advantages and objects of the invention are obtained, a more particular description of the invention briefly described above will be rendered by reference to specific embodiments thereof, which are illustrated, in the appended drawings. Understanding that these drawings depict only typical embodiments of the invention and are therefore not to be considered limiting of its scope, the invention will be described with additional specificity and detail through the use of the accompanying drawings in which:
The references cited herein, to the extent that they provide exemplary procedural or other details supplementary to those set forth herein, are specifically incorporated by reference.
Those of skill in the art, in light of the present disclosure, will appreciate that obvious modifications of the embodiments disclosed herein can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. All of the embodiments disclosed herein can be made and executed without undue experimentation in light of the present disclosure. The full scope of the invention is set out in the disclosure and equivalent embodiments thereof. The specification should not be construed to unduly narrow the full scope of protection to which the present invention is entitled.
As used herein and unless otherwise indicated, the terms “a” and “an” are taken to mean “one”, “at least one” or “one or more”.
As used herein, the term “aptamer” means and refers to at least one oligonucleotide that has a specific three dimensional shape and consequent biological activity. As herein defined, “aptamer” specifically includes nucleotide sequences with, in an embodiment, about 75% sequence identity, or, in an embodiment, about 80% sequence identity, or, in an embodiment, about 85% sequence identity, or, in an embodiment about 90% sequence identity, or, in an embodiment, about 95% sequence identity, or, in an embodiment, about 99% sequence identity, or, in an embodiment, about 99.5% sequence identity with the aptamer of interest.
As used herein, the term “percent identity” describes the percentage of contiguous nucleotides in a first nucleic acid molecule that is the same as in a set of contiguous nucleotides of the same length in a second nucleic acid molecule. The term “percent complementarity” describes the percentage of contiguous nucleotides in a first nucleic acid molecule that can base pair in the Watson-Crick sense with a set of contiguous nucleotides in a second nucleic acid molecule.
Nucleic acid sequences cited herein are written in a 5′ to 3′ direction unless indicated otherwise. The term “nucleic acid,” as used herein, refers to either DNA or RNA or a modified form thereof comprising the purine or pyrimidine bases present in DNA (adenine “A,” cytosine “C,” guanine “G,” thymine “T”) or in RNA (adenine “A,” cytosine “C,” guanine “G,” uracil “U”). “Nucleic acid” includes the terms “oligonucleotide” and “polynucleotide” and can refer to a single-stranded molecule or a double-stranded molecule. A double-stranded molecule is formed by Watson-Crick base pairing between A and T bases, C and G bases, and between A and U bases. The strands of a double-stranded molecule may have partial, substantial or full complementarity to each other and will form a duplex hybrid, the strength of bonding of which is dependent upon at least in part on the nature and degree of complementarity of the sequence of bases.
As used herein, the term “nucleotide sequence” specifically includes the nucleotide sequence, its complement, derivatives, and homologs.
As used herein, “coordination complex” means and refers to a complex in chemistry usually is used to describe molecules or ensembles formed by the combination of ligands and metal ions.
The following examples are illustrative of various embodiments the invention and are not intended to be limiting. For example, we have exemplified the invention using aptamers, but it is equally applicable to antisense, ribozymes, gene therapy, and other therapeutic nucleic acids. Additionally, we have added the 3′-conjugate using the free primary amine of A, C, or G, which is a convenient means of specifically conjugating the 3′ end, but other means of conjugation to the 3′ end can be used. For example, the free carbonyl on G, T, C and U, can be used. Alternatively, a modified nucleotide equipped with target moieties for conjugation can be added as the 3′ overhang. The diol on the 3′-ribose residue of RNA may be oxidized to result in two aldehyde groups using sodium meta-periodate and the aldehydes then can be conjugated to the amine groups on a protein using reductive amination with sodium cyanoborohydride. Nucleic acid conjugation techniques are well known in the art and need not be further detailed herein.
In various examples given herein, the bifunctional linker SULFO-EGS™ (PIERCE CHEMICAL CO.™) was used to couple the free primary amine from adenine to a protein moiety. However, any biocompatible, nonallergenic, bifunctional linker could be used including EDP=3-[(2-aminoethyl)dithio]propionic acid; BMPH═N-[beta-maleimidopropionic acid] hydrazide; BMPS N-[beta-maleimidopropyloxy]succinimide ester; SULFO-DST=disulfosuccinimidyl tartrate; SULFO-EMCS═N-[epsilon-maleimidocaproyloxy]sulfosuccinimide ester.
Further embodiments comprise various other linkages and/or various other techniques for linking.
In an embodiment, linkage is capable of being accomplished through metal-ion mediated catalysis of relatively non-reactive primary aryl amines in adenine, cytosine and guanine by way of transition metal ions such as, but not limited to, Pt(II) and its chelates or coordination complexes as taught by Anorbe, et al., 2004.
In an alternate embodiment, linkage is capable of being accomplished through homo- and hetero-bifunctional aldehydes, such glutaraldehyde or aminoacetaldehyde, known to spontaneously attack and bind to N6 amine group of adenine as taught by Gacesa and Whish, 1978; Hopwood, 1975; Rall and Lehne, 1982; Hayatsu, et al. 1982 and many others. After attachment to the primary aryl amine in the adenine, cytosine, or guanine on the 3′ end of the ds-DNA, the other end of the bifunctional aldehyde can be attached to a protein by conventional means.
In an alternate embodiment, linkage is capable of being accomplished through diazotization (Sandmeyer reaction) in which the primary aryl amine is converted into a diazo (—N=N+) reactive group that links to other primary amines in proteins. In an embodiment, a diazo group is created only at the primary aryl amine of the overhanging 3′ adenine, cytosine or guanine bases as taught indirectly by Matsuura, et al., 2000 and Dolan, et al., 2001.
In yet an alternate embodiment, linkage is capable of being accomplished through the use of naturally occurring enzymes such as methylases or transferases known to add ligands to the primary aryl amines of adenine, cytosine, and guanine as taught by Pues, et al., 1999; Scavetta, et al., 2000; Zinoviev, et al., 1998; Harrison, et al., 1986 and Wang, et al., 2005. In an embodiment, a bifunctional linker that is a structural analog of the normal ligand substrate is attached to the primary aryl amine of adenine, cytosine, or guanine, thereby creating a covalent bond between the base on the 3′-end of the DNA and making the other end of linker available for conjugation to a protein of choice.
In various embodiments, combinations of various linkage methods are used. In an embodiment of a combination, an aldehyde on adenine N6 is capable of being followed by a diazotization of the respective linker. However, any combination is possible.
Additionally, in various embodiments protein moieties were used, because such conjugates enhance the efficacy of the invention by conferring the activity of the protein to the therapeutic nucleic acid. However, various other embodiments comprise nanotubes or other large macromolecules with desirable properties. In various embodiments, conjugates are large enough to prevent the nucleic acid-3′-conjugates from being rapidly cleared by the kidneys, and that it protect the nucleic acid from degradation, without the conjugation adversely affecting the activity of either component.
In various embodiments, where the conjugate has biocidal activity, the nucleic acid-3′-conjugate can be used to selectively target and kill pathogens or cancer cells. Biocides include toxic proteins such as peptide toxin mellitin, peroxidase, TNF-alpha, Bacillus thuringiensis crystal (cry) proteins, and/or the like; proteins that recruit the natural cell killing mechanisms, such as C1prs, Fc, C3b, C4b, C5a, and C567; phage lysis proteins, such as the SPOT genes 40, 50 and 51; chemicals such as polystyrenes, eugenol, thymol, trichlorocarbanalide (TCC), didecyldimethylammonium chloride (DDDMAC) and C10-16-alkyldimethyl, N-oxides (ADMAO), Pentachlorophenol (PCP), and nanotobes containing small molecule drugs, such as antibiotics, or when used as a pore to penetrate target cells.
Other conjugates are designed merely to protect the therapeutic nucleic acid from degradation and retain its activity in the bloodstream, such as serum albumin (SA), human serum albumin (HSA), alpha1 and alpha2 globulins, beta-globulins, gamma-globulins, hemoglobin, and the like. Other conjugates can include antibodies or antibody fragments, designed to recruit other proteins or cell types including cytotoxic T lymphocytes or macrophages to the therapeutic nucleic acid bound to a target cell. These are particularly useful in gene therapy techniques, such as suicide gene therapy or rescue gene therapy, where particular cells are to be targeted with a cytotoxic or functional gene.
Further embodiments of the present invention claim various applications. In an embodiment, embodiments of the present invention block organophosphorus nerve agent effects. Various nerve agents are capable of being blocked by with aptamer-3′ conjugates to anti-methylphosphonic acid (MPA), acetylcholine, GA (tabun), sarin (GB), soman (GD), cyclosarin (GF), VX (a form of O-ethyl-S-[2(diisopropylamino)ethyl]methylphosphonothiolate), and/or the like. In an alternate embodiment, the aptamer-3′ conjugates of the present invention are capable of use as anti-botulinum toxin antidotes. In further embodiments, the aptamer-3′ conjugates of the present invention are capable of use in the opsonization and killing of pathogens such as anthrax and Leishmania parasites (SEQ ID NOS: 336-339), as is herein illustrated. In general, aptamer-3′ conjugates of the present invention are capable of conjugation to any therapeutic agent desired.
In an embodiment of the present invention, various nucleotide sequences of at least near-perfect contiguous complementarity with the nucleotide sequences of an aptamer as disclosed in SEQ ID NOS: 1-378 are within the scope of the appended claims. “Near-perfect,” as used herein, means the antisense strand of the nucleotide sequence is “substantially complementary to,” and the sense strand of the nucleotide sequence is “substantially identical to” at least a portion of the aptamer. “Identity,” as known by one of ordinary skill in the art, is the degree of sequence relatedness between nucleotide sequences as determined by matching the order and identity of nucleotides between the sequences. In one embodiment, the antisense strand of the nucleotide sequence having 80% and between 80% up to 100% complementarity, for example, 85%, 90% or 95% complementarity, to the target mRNA sequence are considered near-perfect complementarity and may be used in the present invention. “Perfect” contiguous complementarity is standard Watson-Crick base pairing of adjacent base pairs. “At least near-perfect” contiguous complementarity includes “perfect” complementarity as used herein. Computer methods for determining identity or complementarity are designed to identify the greatest degree of matching of nucleotide sequences, for example, BLASTN (Altschul, S. F., et al. (1990) J. Mol. Biol. 215:403-410).
In one embodiment of the invention, an aptamer has 72 contiguous nucleotides. Accordingly, a nucleotide sequence having 85% sequence complementarity to, or at least 85% sequence identity with, the aptamer has identical nucleotides in 61 positions of the 72 nucleotide long aptamer. Eleven (11) nucleotide substitutions (i.e., 61/72=85% identity/complementarity) are included in such a phrase.
Various embodiments of the present invention have varying degrees of sequence identity. In an embodiment, a nucleotide sequence capable of use with varying embodiments of the present invention has about 75% sequence identity with the aptamer of interest. In an alternate embodiment, a nucleotide sequence capable of use with varying embodiments of the present invention has about 80% sequence identity with the aptamer of interest. In an alternate embodiment, a nucleotide sequence capable of use with varying embodiments of the present invention has about 85% sequence identity with the aptamer of interest. In an alternate embodiment, a nucleotide sequence capable of use with varying embodiments of the present invention has about 90% sequence identity with the aptamer of interest. In an alternate embodiment, a nucleotide sequence capable of use with varying embodiments of the present invention has about 95% sequence identity with the aptamer of interest. In an alternate embodiment, a nucleotide sequence capable of use with varying embodiments of the present invention has about 99% sequence identity with the aptamer of interest. In yet an alternate embodiment, a nucleotide sequence capable of use with varying embodiments of the present invention has about 99.5% sequence identity with the aptamer of interest.
While a particular embodiment of the invention has been shown and described, numerous variations and alternate embodiments will occur to those skilled in the art. Accordingly, it is intended that the invention be limited only in terms of the appended claims.
The invention may be embodied in other specific forms without departing from its spirit or essential characteristics. The described embodiments are to be considered in all respects only as illustrative and not restrictive. The scope of the invention is, therefore, indicated by the appended claims rather than by the foregoing description. All changes to the claims that come within the meaning and range of equivalency of the claims are to be embraced within their scope. Further, all published documents, patents, and applications mentioned herein are hereby incorporated by reference, as if presented in their entirety.
Two prime (2′) modifications of nucleotides in RNA aptamers have been reported to work well for nuclease resistance (Bell et al., 1999 and Ulrich et al., 2002) against certain specific bacterial nucleases and against serum nucleases. Some researchers claim that DNA aptamers can be protected by 2′-Fluoro-deoxynucleotide (dNTP) incorporation (Ono et al., 1997). However, there is not much definitive data on this topic in the literature. Further, it is difficult to incorporate 2′F-dNTPs into DNA by PCR (Ono et al., 1997) or other means as most DNA polymerases either will not incorporate 2′F-dNTPs (i.e., reject them as substrates or they are poorly incorporated) or the 2′-F-dNTPs are excised by the polymerase's editing function.
An alternative method for conferring resistance to serum nucleases is capping of the DNA termini, especially the 3′ end as shown by Dougan et al. (2000). Dougan capped aptamers with the small molecule biotin and successfully preserved the aptamers in serum. However, we theorized that a larger peptide or protein could be conjugated to the 3′ end of the aptamer with the added benefits of increasing aptamer retention in the blood (i.e., decreasing clearance by the kidneys, because the low molecular weight aptamer is attached to a large protein that cannot be filtered by the kidneys). In addition, a protein conjugate would provide the benefit of adding the functionality of the protein moiety to the aptamer. The latter advantage can then be used for adding a wide variety of functions such as biocidal activity, enzymatic activity, enhancing phagocytosis (opsonization), cell recruitment or cell activation, or serum stability.
The goal of the process shown schematically in
In various embodiments, the 3′-A overhang is on the complementary strand, not on the desired aptamer strand. Therefore at least one more round of PCR is required to place the 3′-A overhang on the original template strand (solid line) and enable conjugation to the protein moiety by means of a common bifunctional linker such as SULFO-EGS™ (ethylene glycol-bis(sulfosuccinimidylsuccinate)). However, specifically included with this disclosure are aptamers wherein the 3′-A overhang is on the desired aptamer strand, not on the complementary strand, thereby only requiring one round of PCR.
Once the aptamer was conjugated to a given protein at its 3′ end, the double strand is melted by means of heating. The conjugate is heated to a temperature and/or for a period of time that will not denature the protein. In various other embodiments, a mild chemical treatment such as low concentrations of urea, which could again denature the protein if the concentration is too high. Other means of separating ds-DNA include the use of biological tools, such as SSB (Single-stranded DNA Binding Protein).
Finally, the single-stranded aptamers and the aptamer-3′-protein conjugates can be separated by a variety of physical means such as size exclusion gel chromatography on materials such as Sephadex, density gradient centrifugation, or preparative electrophoresis, etc. The aptamer-3′-conjugate can also be separated by affinity chromatography using an antibody against the protein conjugate, and this system can be coupled with mild denaturation, thus allowing purification and separation in a combined step.
Bruno (1997) and Bruno and Kiel (2002) as well as Murphy et al. (2003) have described a method for immobilizing target molecules onto magnetic microbeads (MBs) and using these target-MBs to magnetically separate out aptamers from a randomized oligonucleotide library which bind the target with high affinity. Then using standard SELEX techniques (Bruno and Kiel 2002), a family of aptamers can be selected that will bind the target with high affinity and can be conjugated at their 3′ ends by way of the process shown in
Sulfo-EGS was dissolved at 10 mg/mL in sterile PBS and 132 μL of this stock solution added to 0.1 mg of human C1qrs protein (molecular weight of 750 kD). This ratio provided the 20-fold molar excess of Sulfo-EGS recommended for Sulfo-EGS conjugations.
One hundred μL (approximately 33 μg) of SELEX round 5 or greater DNA aptamers in their cold (double-stranded) form was added to the solution. The reactants were allowed to stand at RT for 1 hour and were then added to a Pharmacia™ PD-10 desalting column (Sephadex™ G-25) equilibrated with several void volumes of sterile PBS. Twelve to fifteen 1 mL fractions were eluted in PBS and collected as individual fractions. Absorbance readings were taken for all fractions at 260 nm and 280 nm. In addition, 5 μL of each fraction was added to 5 μL of native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) loading buffer and run on 8-10% polyacrylamide gels that were fixed and silver stained to verify successful conjugation.
The following steps were performed for E. coli O111:K58(B4):H— (ATCC No. 33780) killing experiments. Twenty tryptic soy agar (TSA) petri plates were warmed to RT and labeled to represent four groups of five plates each. The five plates cover arbitrary E. coli ten-fold dilutions from 10−4 to 10−8 where the aptamer-C1qrs conjugates “antibiotic” effect was anticipated. One loopful of freshly cultured E. coli O111:K58(B4):H— (i.e., grown overnight at 35° C. on TSA agar) was added to 1 mL of Gelatin Veronal Buffer (GVB; Sigma-Aldric Co.™, St. Louis, Mo.) at RT. Clumps were broken up by use of a 5 mL syringe and 20 gauge needle that was used to vigorously eject the bacterial sample ten times to achieve a uniform single cell suspension, as confirmed by phase-contrast microscopy at 400× magnification.
This stock bacterial suspension was used to make eight ten-fold dilutions in sterile polypropylene tubes. Both the stock bacterial suspension and nascent dilution were thoroughly mixed throughout the experiments to ensure random sampling. Fifty μL of each bacterial dilution was added to four other polypropylene microfuge tubes (representing the four treatment groups for each specified dilution of interest).
Ten μL of human serum complement proteins (Sigma-Aldrich™ #S-1764) diluted 1:500 (to avoid activation of the alternate complement pathway by LPS) in GVB was added to each tube in Groups 1 and 2.
One hundred μL of the aptamer-3′-C1qrs conjugate was added to five separate PCR tubes, and all were heated at 80° C. in the thermal cycler block for 5 minutes to make the anti-LPS aptamer portion of the conjugate single-stranded (Tm of the 60mer was 78.5° C.). This temperature and duration did not appear to cause damage to the C1 qrs part of the conjugate, because it still appeared to initiate bacterial killing, as shown below.
Fifty μL of the hot aptamer-C1qrs conjugate was added to Groups 1 and 4 of each killing experiment (50 μL×10 tubes=500 μL). Total volume of all tubes was equalized to 110 μL by addition of GVB as appropriate. Tubes were capped, shaken ten times, and incubated at 35° C. for 2 hours.
The tubes were decanted onto the TSA plates and the contents spread. Plates were placed face up at RT for 30 minutes and then inverted and incubated overnight at 35° C. The following day, plate counts were obtained and all plates were photographed.
It is well known that LPS from E. coli and other Gram negative bacteria can activate the complement cascade by the Alternate pathway. To eliminate or minimize the Alternate pathway of complement activation, a series of dilutions containing only human serum complement protein (HSCP) were added to the test bacteria to determine the lowest concentration (i.e., highest dilution) of HSCPs that did not kill significant numbers of E. coli bacteria by the Alternate pathway after a two hour incubation at 35° C. The results of the HSCP dilution experiment are given in Table 1 and indicate that between a 1:800 to 1:500 dilution of the HSCPs was appropriate for use in the later killing experiments, since that is where the killing effect of HSCP itself becomes apparent (i.e., significantly fewer than 300 colonies were seen per plate).

Colony Forming Units (cfu)
##STR00001##
Note:
An arbitrary 10−4 dilution of E. coli was used. Grey indicates that at those dilutions
there was sufficient complement to begin activating the alternate pathway of cell killing.
The aptamer-3′-C1 qrs-mediated killing experiments contained four treatment groups as follows:
Group 1: Full Test Group—Contained 50 μL of the bacterial dilution plus 50 μL of anti-LPS aptamer-C1qrs conjugate and 10 μL of 1:500 dilution of HSCPs per tube.
Group 2: Control for Alternate Pathway Activation—Contained 50 μL of bacterial dilution and 10 μL of 1:500 dilution of HSCPs plus 50 μL GVB per tube.
Group 3: Bacterial Growth Control—No chemical additives. This group indicates baseline growth levels of the bacteria. The group contained only 50 μL bacterial dilution and 60 μL of GVB per tube.
Group 4: Aptamer-C1qrs Conjugate Control—Contained only 50 μL of bacterial suspension plus 50 μL of aptamer-C1qrs conjugate and 10 μL of GVB (no HSCPs added, therefore the remainder of the complement cascade should not be present).
In the three aptamer-C1 qrs bacterial killing experiments (Table 2), it became clear that, at certain higher dilutions, Groups 1 and 4 consistently showed fewer colonies than Groups 2 and 3. If the classical pathway of complement activation was being invoked by the anti-LPS aptamer-C1qrs conjugate, then one would predict a significantly lower number of colonies in Group 1. However, the lower number of colonies in Group 4 (conjugate only group) is somewhat perplexing. One possible explanation of the lowered colony numbers in Group 4 is that traces or residues of the other complement proteins (HSCPs) are present in the aptamer-C1qrs conjugate preparation and synergize with the conjugate to bring about elevated levels of bacterial killing. If that is not the case, then the aptamer-C1 qrs conjugate may be able to kill bacteria by an unknown alternate mechanism that does not involve invoking the action of the complement cascade.

One example of DNA aptamer-mediated enzymatic toxin inhibition can be seen in the binding of specific botulinum A toxin (BoNT A) aptamers to BoNT A, thereby inhibiting the toxin's ability to cleave its SNAP 25 peptide substrate. Using a specific SNAP 25 FRET assay known as the SNAPtide™ assay, aptamers developed against both the holotoxin and the 50 kD zinc endopeptidase subunit of BoNT A showed evidence of significant toxin inhibition as seen in
The SNAPtide™ assay procedure and buffer formulations are given here. 100 mL of Buffers A and B were made in nuclease-free sterile water according to Table 3 below. The pH was adjusted to 8.0 with strong base or acid, as needed, and the solutions filter sterilized and stored in a refrigerator, but warmed to RT before use.
A SNAPtide™ vial (fluorescein/dabcyl labeled peptide; LIST BIOL. LABS,™ No. 521) was reconstituted in 80 μL of DMSO to a stock concentration of 2.5 mM. 10 μL of BoNT A (10 μg/mL) was preincubated in 190 μL of Buffer A (see composition below) at 37° C. for 30 minutes to activate the toxin.
10 μL of round 5 anti-BoNT A aptamers was added to 90 μL of Buffer B, mixed and preheated to 95° C. for at least 5 minutes in a closed Eppendorf tube under a vented chemical or biological hood.
Hot aptamer solution (100 μL) was added to 100 μL of activated BoNT A in an Eppendorf tube and allowed to bind at 37° C. for 15 minutes. This tube was labeled “Test.”Similarly, 100 μL of Buffer B was added to 100 μL of activated BoNT A labeled “Control” and incubated t 37° C. for 10 minutes.
3 μL of stock SNAPtide™ (SNAP 25 FRET peptide fragment) were added to both tubes along with 2.7 mL of Buffer B. The contents of the tubes (3 mL each) were transferred to separate 10 mm methacrylate cuvettes and readings taken by spectrofluorometer with excitation at 490 nm and emission at >520 nm for the next 30 minutes in 1 to 2 minute intervals.

In this example, aptamers coupled to human serum albumin (HSA) at their 3′ ends are stabilized in serum and in vivo in order to bind the surface proteins, peptides, or saccharide epitopes on the envelopes or capsids of pathogenic viruses and prevent their attachment to target cells or limit their transmission between cells in vivo and thereby limit their replication and spread internally and between humans. Examples of DNA aptamer sequences that bind the tick-borne virus known to cause Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever (CCHF) with mortality as high as 80% are identified in SEQ ID Nos. 469-516.
If aptamers are conjugated at their 3′ end to the Fc fragment of IgG antibodies or the C3b component of complement, they could conceivably be used to opsonize encapsulated bacteria. To test this contention, tosyl-MBs (Dynal Corp.) were conjugated to poly-D-glutamic acid (PDGA) as previously described by Bruno and Kiel (2002). PDGA is the major component of the capsule of Bacillus anthracis (anthrax) pathogenic strains, which enables the vegetative cells to escape phagocytosis. PDGA-conjugated MBs were used to emulate vegetative anthrax bacteria and determine if aptamer-3′-Fc conjugates could enhance the phagocytosis of PDGA-MBs and by inference, opsonize encapsulated bacteria. The following describes the protocols used in these experiments.
RAW264.7 murine macrophages were split by scraping and add 105 cells into each well of a sterile six-well culture plate using fresh RPMI-1640 cell culture medium plus 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS). In practice, 1 mL of cell suspension was used with 4 mL of fresh RPMI-1640 plus 10% FBS. The plate sat overnight to allow the cells to attach.
Five different tubes were labeled per Table 4 as follows (all volumes in μL):

*Note:
Round 5 aptamer heated at 95° C. for 5 minutes prior to adding to tube; Apt. = aptamer, Fc-Apt conjugate heated at 65° C. for 5 minutes prior to adding to tube. Heating is performed to ensure single-strandedness of the aptamers before they bind PDGA. 2XBB = 2X aptamer binding buffer (Bruno and Kiel, 2002).
Each tube was incubated for 30 minutes at RT to allow binding of any aptamers or aptamer-Fc conjugates with PDGA-MBs or other targets to occur Tube contents were loaded to the appropriate wells of a 6-well plate, and incubated at 37° C. and 5% CO2 and then counted at 1, 2, and 24 hours using an inverted microscope.
Data were evaluated using a “phagocytic index” parameter. The formula used for the phagocytic index according to Welkos et al., 2001 was:
Phagocytic Index=Mean number of MBs/cell X% of cells with at least one MB
Table 5 summarizes the raw data from the opsonization studies, as well as the phagocytic indices, which were derived from the above equation using the raw data. The controls that appeared to show enhanced phagocytosis may be due to some nonspecific binding of the aptamers to other targets or the innate ability of macrophages to recognize certain types of foreign matter (MBs or coated MBs). It also appears from Table 5 that there was some dose-dependence to the Fc-aptamer enhancement because in the first experiment the percentage of cells showing phagocytosis jumped from 74.67% to 96% with an increased level of Fc-aptamer conjugate (see highlighted data in Table 5).

All appended aptamer sequences were generally collected from embodiments of the following procedure: Developing DNA aptamer families to diazinon and malathion by the SELEX (as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,270,163 cited herein) process. Each of the targets diazinon and malathion has a different attachment chemistry for immobilization. Immobilization is a factor to affinity selection of aptamers from a random library of sequences. Various embodiments of an immobilization approach are outlined in Table 6 below.
The general magnetic bead (MB)-based SELEX approach of Bruno and Kiel 2002 consisting of alternating iterative phases of affinity selection and PCR amplification was used to eventually yield a set of high-affinity aptamers after 5-12 rounds of selection in all cases.
